O Street Oasis is your beach house dream come true. Sweet "old Florida" style bungalow in the historic Parrot Cove section of Lake Worth, one of the last undeveloped beach communities in South Florida. Surrounded by palm trees, cactus, and papayas, this adorable house looks out over a beautiful landscape. Walk to the quaint and artistic town of Lake Worth: restaurants, coffee shops, live theater, music, galleries, golf, & local festivals. 5 minutes drive or 15 minute bike ride to the beach!

There are 2 bedrooms that can sleep 2 people each and another day bed in the sun room that can sleep 2 more. It's completely furnished with a mid-century flair, including the original 1950's kitchen cabinetry. The kitchen/pantry is stocked with everything you need including spices, condiments, and a few canned and boxed goods.

This is a laid back neighborhood with great architecture, fauna, and a vibrant cultural community. It's been called "Key North" by some of the local residents, as it has the look and feel of old Florida. Beach features Benny's (a place to eat on a pier over the ocean), shops, boardwalk, playground, parking, surfing, and life guards.

Lake Worth Public Golf Course is a short walk and offers inexpensive golfing and kayaking on the Inter-Coastal.

About Charles Cornelis

We are a creative couple with 2 wonderful children. Sharon is an actor, writer, director and Chuck is a musician and visual artist. We live in the Catskill Mountains of New York near the town of Woodstock, a bustling artist community and destination for weekend and summer getaways. We live in the mountains but both have a passion for ocean beaches and warm climates. This is our getaway when we need a warm beach escape.

Why Charles Cornelis chose Parrot Cove

This home fits our needs perfectly. A beautiful BEACH is a hop-skip-and-jump away! We can go to the beach for 2 hours, come home for lunch, and go back without even thinking. The house is surrounded by gorgeous landscaping: palms, papayas, pineapple plants. Its tropical climate and proximity to an artistic community makes this place really special for us. We have a yoga teacher come once a week and do yoga with us on the back patio. It's heaven! We can bike or walk to almost everything (Beach!) we need on lazy, local roads and alleys. It is close to 2 airports and we can get there in just a few hours.

What makes this Cottage unique

The house and property have the charm of "Old Florida" and we immediately knew it would fit our needs. You feel almost like you're on an island or one of the Florida Keys. The vaulted ceilings and huge windows make you feel like you are outside in paradise. The neighborhood is so laid back, yet you are close to a lot of groovy things to do.

My family absolutely loved staying at the house, it was very clean and comfortable - exactly as the pictures show. The house was conveniently located, a short drive to the beach, shopping and dining. Very quite neighborhood and a beautiful back yard. We would love to stay at the property again if we ever make it back to South Florida, highly recommend staying here!

So I tend to be overly picky and search sites looking and obsessing until I feel I've found the perfect place. Well, this beautiful home was all we could have asked for and more! Beautiful, clean, spacious --- simply delightful! Chuck was super accommodating and the amenities were perfection! Enjoyed downtown Lake Worth, the beautiful beach and it is truly centrally located to everything! Look no further, this home is such a deal for the money---you won't be disappointed!

Owner's Response:

Mary and her family were great guests. Since our home is in a quiet neighborhood, it's important to us that our renters are courteous to quiet. We received good reports from the locals and our housekeeper. We would rent to her again!

A fantastic 7 weeks in Florida

My wife and I spent a week at Christmas time while visiting our daughter and her family. The home was clean and had plenty of space for the 2 of us. The furnishings were in good condition and everything functioned as intended. The mattress in the larger bedroom was nice and firm and very comfortable. The owners left various food stuffs in the pantry and fridge for tenants use, asking they be replaced if used. This was nice to have available.

There were a couple of surprises - we were unaware there is no dishwasher and no cable T.V. I don't believe this was mentioned in the VRBO ad. Also, there was no can opener - it could have been misplaced by the previous tenant. I borrowed one from the neighbor, Rose Mary, and got one from a thrift store for the future tenants use. The fridge is located in the utility room and a bit awkward to get into and out of.

Other than that the property is comfy and a nice place to stay while visiting the Lake Worth area.

Parrot Cove, Lake Worth, FL, USA

Our Home is a sweet beach bungalow in the historic Parrot Cove section of Lake Worth, one of the last undeveloped beach communities in South Florida. Walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, live theater, music, galleries, golf, & local festivals.

Lake Worth is a vibrant community. An extraordinary place where tranquility meets creativity and where warm tropics meet hot topics. It's a dynamic, multi-cultural city with a strong social and environmental consciousness. People are drawn to the city by its independent character, acceptance of different cultures and lifestyles, many historic structures, hip downtown, and distinctive residential neighborhoods. The city has a rich history and is protective of its historic architectural fabric. Over 1,000 historic buildings contribute to the human scale and charm of the downtown and residential areas. The downtown is considered the artistic soul of Lake Worth with a historic theater and a museum, live music clubs, coffee houses, art galleries, antique malls, retail stores, and many restaurants.

Take the Tri-Rail ($6) from either the Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach airport. Then, a short cab ride and you're there. A car is not absolutely necessary as there's much to offer within walking or biking distance.
